Welp...Focus On The Positives
So I already hated the government, but...Jesus fucking Christ. I'm glad to have a community of fellow queers at my university- not only are people already organising protests but there's a lot of support going out. Speaking of, UK residents feel free to write to politicians to express your opinions on the matter, it's free and your right!
Anyway, I have to not try to think about all the ways this can spiral from here lest I fall into another depressive episode. I feel like I just scraped myself out of the last one, really great timing.
One of the cats has spent the past few days limping. We assumed he pulled a muscle or something, but as he hasn't really improved and it's a Bank Holiday soon we took him to the vet yesterday just to be sure. It clearly wasn't a broken bone, plus the vet said his range of motion was all good- agreed it was likely a soft tissue injury and he should get some painkillers and rest. No need to panic over him, he's all good. Pissed off at being cooped up inside, but he's basically spending the day napping and is rather pleased at getting drugged treats. I keep telling my mother he'll just have the painkiller on its own but I guess it does make him feel better to have more treats. He's also getting revenge at being shut in by shedding everywhere. I love this boy, but being covered in white and brown fluff isn't great when 95% of your wardrobe is black. At least he's very cute when he's nuzzling my legs...
Other life stuff- my Removal Day is coming up (was a c-section baby, fuck you Macbeth) so I had to improvise a list for the family. It also brought up the topic of coming out to the non-household & older members, which...We're not gonna touch the trans part until at least the grandparents are dead, unless I find out it'd be the last shock for them (joking of course, I never hope they pass away purely so I don't have to deal with them...at least not often) but I'm pretty sure most of them picked up on the gay thing. I mean, I have said the phrase "God I'm glad to be a lesbian" directly to 1/3 of them and in the presence of most of the others, plus I've had several people tell me I don't have to come out about that due to my appearance. Granted, it was in reference to being anxious about women picking up on me being gay given my femme presentation, but still. I'm not the pinnacle of the ideal straight cis woman. Honestly, I'm just wondering how many intensely homoerotic childhood friendships it took for them to pick up on it.
I once again have Gideon Nav bouncing around my brain, so I may end up writing an essay/rant/word vomit on how much I adore her and posting it. Apologies to anyone who hasn't read the books, I guess it'll be a way to convince you to give them a go? Or just nod along to a lesbian foaming at the mouth over Big Strong Lady With Sword.
